Nikon D40 Digital Camera with G-II 18-55mm Lens

Incorrect metering I have a Nikon D40x. About every 100 or so frames that i take, there is a problem with the Nikon Metering system. It incorrectly chooses the Aperture and Shutter Speed. Outdoors, it sometimes overexposes pictures. Indoors, it makes them very dark or black. Should i take this in to get it fixed? I have extended warranty...Alas, this is an intermittent problem. Thoughts?

It may be a problem with the camera, but you should be using the manual modes....they are much more accurate. if you are worried about it being a defect issue, then send it in.....I have one also, and have found it to be a bit slow on the ...

NIKON D1X Hi I just bought a D1X nikon, in the full manual mode when I change the shutter speed, I can hear no change in the sound it makes when going from 125 to 16K. However the image gets darker as I increase the shutter speed. Is it electronic shutter? Hence no physical increase in shutter speed? Thanks for help.

The shutter is a copal shutter and it does change . Try 125th speed haer the sound and then change to 1/15th . Also you can tell on your histragram inthe camera or the image on your display . ...

Hello..on Nikon D40 ..70-300 lense...can the arpeture and shutter speeds be manually set and locked in when using in sports mode

No. If you use any of the modes, the shutter speed and aperature are controlled by the camera. It does set them up to have higher shutter speeds in the sports mode, though. \015\012\015\012If you're having problems with getting the shu ...

Focus problems I have 2 digital cameras already so I know to hold the button down 1/2 way for focusing. The Nikon is new. I HATE manuals. I am having trouble focusing on close up shots. They are either real blurry or slightly out of focus. It seems the shutter speed is so slow that any movement of my hand ruins the shot. I can take a shot of something, a plant for instance, pulled in fairly close. One shot may be ok and the next one is blurry

There are two likely reasons for the blurry pictures. One possibility is, as you surmised, a slow shutter speed. Try mounting the camera on a tripod or other stable support. You might also try turning on the flash.The other reason is focu ...

Nikon D60 - Very slow shutter speed (2-4 seconds)when using the flash and pictures come our blurry. All settings are default and this is a new problem.

My nikon d40 shot results contains white space from upper part, sometimes almost half of the picture, and now the whole picture frame is all white. what is the problem with my camera? is the shutter defective? how much will it cost me?

What mode are you shooting in? if in manual, your shutter speed is to slow and your photos are probably overexposed. or if you are in one of the program modes you probably have exposure compensation turned up very high. so turn down your exposure com ...

I have a Nikon d40X. When I attempt to take a picture, the shutter speed is EXTREMELY slow. Because of this, my pics are all blurry. I am not sure what caused this to start happening. Can someone please tell me what is going on?? Also, I am not sure if the flash is working properly either. I feel that this may contribute to the problem as well. Please help!! Steve

Unable to show the menu, the top screen does not show any number of pictures to take it only shows the brackets i have a 1gb memory card in. When i turn the camera on the shutter speed and f stop and other info appear but have noticed that the clock and the battery symbol flash for a short period and then the f stop and the shutter speed disappear but other info stays. I have replaced with a new battery but still have the same problem could there be a problem with the memory card. Thanks John Fo

It is possible that the small built in back-up battery is failing or has failed. This battery is built in and recharged by the main camera battery, three (3) days of charging will recharge it and it should last for approx one (1) month. For more deta ...

Flash and high shutter speed problem

Actually you cannot take 'High Speed' photos and flash they way you are thinking- Even even with high spec pro cameras - it does not work that way.\015\012The Flash speed is in the order of 10,000th sec.\015\012So all the shutter has to do is open fo ...

Nikon D80 with a Sigma Lens (80 to 200 I think). In manual mode, often shutter won't release - this was a close up of a hummingbird with a fast shutter speed. Internal light meter showed underexposed, but the background was dark green. Initially, the shutter released, but later would not operate either with a remote, or by manually depressed the shutter release button. Switching back to auto, the camera seemed to work fine, but in this mode could not get the desired shutter speed. In full manual
